As the mesh runner trend remains at the forefront of sneaker and fashion circles, brands have no choice but to bring more and more models in this category to market. For New Balance, one of the originators of this style, they’ve successfully brought back older models that fell to the wayside, like the recently revived New Balance 740. Alongside an all-new Phantom Firefly rendition, the model is dipped in a stealthy color palette of Black Silver Metallic.
Deep black hues dominate most of the silhouette, accented by pops of metallic silver on select portions. A wide-spaced mesh acts as the base here, visible on the toe, midfoot, heel, and tongue, while linear leather overlays along the midfoot, heel, and mudguard primarily take on the same black finish as the mesh. Pops of silver metallic line these leather panels and surround the TPU N logo on the midfoot.
